It’s not everyday you hear a superhero talking about exhaustion.

But Chris Evans, aka Captain America in Marvel’s latest hit blockbuster, Avengers: Age of Ultron, has particularly strong thoughts on this matter.

He said: “Some people say there’s going to be superhero exhaustion. But these movies aren’t just superhero movies.”

“The superhero involvement is what’s going to bring the audiences because of the familiar properties but then you get into the movie and it’s not just him and his suit, it’s not just me and my shield.

“It’s people having real life discussions and real life conflicts as characters, that’s what people are going to relate to.”

What’s more his co-star, Robert Downey Jr agrees with him.

The Iron Man star said: “What will happen is it will change. I’m just stoked that we get to be still doing this at the point where it’s representative of what it is. It kind of drives the industry.”

Talking about his character’s relationship with Iron Man (played by Robert Downey Jr), Chris went on to say: “It’s like a marriage. We love each other but it’s explosive. You’re working toward the same goal but you have very different approaches to it.”

Avengers: Age of Ultron opens in UK cinemas on April 24.
